| Message | We believe that the local Dumas should decide. Why should the national Duma be telling local Dumas what to do? |

| Message | To ensure that the rights of everyone will be protected. We need to ensure that so as just because of a small changing of the guard the entire establishment will not be overturned. |

| Message | I firmly believe that there are some regulations needed for the local Dumas, so as to assure dictatorship of the simple majority in one area. Ex. We should not have a simple majority law for a motto, because if a communist makes it there then the motto will be "workers of the world unite" and the next election it could be won by a facist and it could be "we will kill the dissenters". But what we need is a unifying example for the entire nation, thats why laws such as flags, mottos, animals, should all have a unifying factor that is a representative of all. Not some, hence why its more than the simple majority, but at least 2/3. |
